It could be... you will not get a 'Rodger' from the tower if you ask for the lights before you pass the last beacon. I will try removing the beacons and see what happens.

UPDATE
I removed the blind landing vehicle and every beacon on the map (had to edit mission file as FMB refused to admit AR was gone) it makes no difference. The tower will not 'rodger' your request until you are within 2km and the lights do not come on until you are within 1km.
2nd Update
I have been making a fairly shallow approach so I tried a higher approach (500m at the 4th waypoint) to see if line-of-sight was the problem but the tower still did not acknowledge my request until within 2km (actually 1.6) and the lights turned on at under 1km.
